Reading the passage
The second paragraph's problem is that people can endanger each other by making incompatible choices. If you were alone on a road, either side would work. Once other drivers are there, everyone needs a shared arrangement.
What we’re looking for
I want another rule that organizes people's movements or activities to prevent that kind of collision. A rule doesn't match merely because it requires everyone to do the same thing.
Working the answers
- A
Requiring permission before digging concerns authority over the site. The stated rule isn't arranging different people's activities so they don't interfere dangerously with one another.
- B
Requiring a prescription controls access to medicine. It doesn't solve a problem created by people making incompatible choices about where or how to act together.
- C
Requiring support for advertising claims addresses potentially misleading claims. The problem isn't a lack of an agreed convention like a side of the road.
- D
Matching uniforms provide conformity, but no comparable danger from uncoordinated activity is identified. Looking alike isn't the benefit that justifies the driving rule.
- ECorrect
Each pilot's altitude choice matters because other planes occupy the same airspace. Assigning different altitudes prevents dangerous interference among them. That's the same relationship as a road convention: the rule coordinates otherwise independent choices so people don't collide.
